Amfibius:
Hi all, thanks for letting me join your little forum :) I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I know nothing about machining. I am normally a ship model builder, but I want to take my hobby to the next level. So I have just bought a Proxxon MF70 and have a Sherline 4410 lathe on order. I'm excited to have found something new to learn :)

Hi Amfibius

Welcome to Madmodder and thank you for joining our forum. There are many others on the forum that started similar to yourself. Getting a lathe and a mill will allow you to take your model ship building to a whole new level.

If you have any questions just ask. There is always someone around to help out or at least give an opinin. We look forward to your participation in the various threads  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

hi and welcume

Amfibius:
Thank you guys for the welcome. I already have two first projects in mind:

- power feed for both the lathe and mill table. I will make an adapter for the handwheel, with a universal joint in the middle. I will attach this to my powered screwdriver.

- sensitive drilling attachment. Effectively this converts my mill into a drill press. Probably more complicated to make. I have a design in my head.

Hi Amfibius, welcome to the forum, it looks like you are off to a good start , making tools to make tools and altering tools ...... A path we all seem to go along on the way to hopefully one day doing a project with the tools and machines we have altered  :D
  Looking forward to seeing your projects .
  Cheers Mick.
